At last,some radios to restore!

A good close up photo of how the cursor attaches to the cord would be useful for me to help with advice.
I have done a Phillips 353A and that required a tool with a right angled end working from under the set so that I had to have it laying on its back while I attached cursor.

This one is a bit of a different arrangement.  The cursor is fitted to a guide that runs along a brass rod which is fixed to the dial itself.   Where the cursor is fitted to this guide there is also a bracket for fitting the cable which then runs off to either side, round the pulleys and winds round the black drum underneath.   I'll try to take some photos that show the arrangement.   The challenge is that the dial and cursor mechanism is fitted to the cab but the cable drum is naturally connected to the chassis.   The drum has to be in position relative to the dial/cursor in order to fit the cable.   There's no way this can be done when the chassis is in the cab - at least that I can see.

Still, it's a fun project!
